Exceptional performance, even at high volume

Like it loud? Alpine designed their Type-R speakers for people who like to turn it up. They'll deliver big, dynamic sound with plenty of bass, and they'll handle lots of volume. They'll work great with your car stereo, but they really come into their own when you power them with an outboard amp.

Fine-tuned for clarity and balance

The Type-R SPR-50C component system features 5-1/4" woofers with multi-layer hybrid fiber cones that deliver really strong bass response. Alpine's adapted the specially ridged surround, originally developed for their subs, to these speakers, so you get consistent, extended cone movement that pushes a lot of air. The silk tweeters produce smooth highs that bring out your music's detail and depth with no shrillness. Alpine mounts an EQ ring in front of the tweeters to help disperse the highs for a larger listening "sweet spot" in your ride. The tweeters mount separately so you can focus the sound better for your seating position.

Smaller, stronger neodymium magnets

Alpine uses powerful neodymium magnets which are much smaller than traditional magnets, so the SPR-50C's high-density polymer frames will fit into more places than most 5-1/4" woofers. External 2-way crossover networks control the high and low frequencies for seamless, clear sound — and they're 60% smaller than the old Type-R crossovers so they're easier to install. Type-R speakers have earned their reputation in the past as the masters of "crank it to the max," but Alpine has really kicked the performance factor of the latest models up a notch or two.

Why install component speakers?

A component speaker system gives you the best possible performance from your car audio system. A system consists of separate woofers, tweeters, and crossovers, each designed to cover one specific range of frequencies. As separate components, the woofer can move freely to deliver more powerful performance, while the tweeter can be custom-mounted in a better spot up closer to your ears, revealing a whole new world of detail. Separate crossovers are far superior to the simple filters wired into full-range speakers, so the components work together for smoother, more focused sound.

Motor Structure: The woofer's High-performance Linear Drive
Motor structure features a square-wire voice coil with a large 30mm diameter,
driven by a small but powerful neodymium magnet. This design provides linear
motion over a wide cone excursion.

Neodymium Magnet: The neodymium magnet on the Type-R series
woofers allows smaller speaker dimensions, making them easier to install in a wide
variety of vehicles. They are also lighter than designs using standard magnet
technology.

HD Polymer Frame: The new Type-R woofers use a revolutionary
HD Polymer frame, making the speaker stronger, lighter, and easier to install.

Tweeters: The SPR-50C includes 1" (25mm) silk dome
tweeters. Alpine's EQ Ring improves the tweeter's dispersion characteristics,
providing excellent off-axis response. When using the flush-mount housing you
can also tilt the tweeters up to 15° to focus the sound toward your ears.

Tweeter Mounting Options: The tweeters come installed in a
swiveling flush-mount housing. You can also install the tweeters behind factory
grilles using the included stealth mount brackets. The stealth mount brackets
can be top or bottom mounted. The installed tweeter dimensions are:

Crossovers: The SPR-50C features low-pass crossovers attached
to each woofer's input terminal and separate high-pass crossovers in-line between
the woofers and tweeters. Because the crossovers are separate, the system can be
bi-amped. Two-sided tape is included to mount the high-pass crossovers and their
dimensions are:

Width: 2.65"

Height: 0.97"

Depth: 1.27"

Tweeter Attenuation: Each crossover has four tweeter level
options, allowing you to precisely tune the high frequencies to the car interior
and tweeter placement. Using the supplied jumpers select 0dB (no attenuation),
-2dB, -4dB, or -6dB.

Great Speakers

These are a great pairs of Speakers. I installed them in a 2003 Buick Park Avenue. I rewired all the speakers with new wire and hooked it to Rockford Fosgate Punch P4004 50W x 4 Car Amplifier. I put the Crossovers in the trunk and ran 2 sets of wires to each door. I hooked them up to a Kenwood DNX690HD before the amp it they played perfect.

Great set of speakers

I have been very satisfied with the speakers. They are paid with an alpine amp 110 rms. the sound great and never seem like they are working hard. Very satisfied as I got the second pair half off from Crutchfield special

Pros:Fit in car perfectly. Sounds very clean

Cons:Tweeter is very high... Even with crossover set at the 2nd highest setting. Probably need to adjust it all the way down. Crutchfield service was great!

Alpine SPR-50C

These speakers pack quite a punch for being only 5.25". These speakers have crisp sound and a lot of bass. I have it installed in a 2005 Accord EX and it makes my rear-view mirror shake (no sub installed). These speakers are well worth the money as I am only putting ~50 watts rms to each along with the spr69. These speakers are true quality loud speakers as I've owned eminence, selenium, american bass, etc. If you want volume along with clarity without breaking the bank, these speakers are the way to go. If I had the space, I would have purchased the 6.5's as I'm sure they are just as great or even better.

Pros:Very light, crisp, loads of bass.

Cons:makes my doors shake violently even when turned down, dynamat may be the solution.

great speakers. i put them in my dodge ram quad cab. they sound clear and very easy to install. i put them in the rear doors and drilled holes for the tweeters. i have jbl 6x9 in the front doors with an alpine pdx-v9 5 Chanel amp 100 watts rms x4. 500watts rms mono to power the sub. great sound quality and fair price. couldnt recommend these speakers more.

Pros:easy install. great quality and they last had them over a year. recommend a good amp with 100 watt rms. tweeters are adjustable and crossovers work well

Cons:the only cons is that you should use sound damping for vibration.

great

i replaced the previous gen model with these and i honestly couldnt be more blown away. i do not know how they(alpine) did it but the highs are so much crisper and the mids from the woofer are that much punchier. i highly recommend these components! but be sure to power them properly or you WILL NOT get the full potential these have to offer. i use the pdx-f4, but i think you can get away with using another high quality 4 channel amp. (minimum rms of 75x4).

Beyond What I Expected

Be careful before you puchase one or two of these bad boys...you will hear every detail of the sounds and clarity coming from them. It is so clear and very powerful especially if you add an amp(I reccomend the PDX -F6). With that bein' mentioned...you can wake up the whole neighborhood. Becareful not to blow up your ear drums in the process. This is the best Alpine has to offer!!
